I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by my bloglines list at the moment too. Yesterday I couldn’t get bloglines to work. By the time I got it back today I had over 70 new posts. Yikes. I might have to delete a few. There are a handful of favorite blogs I will continue to follow including yours. :c)

I hear you about deleting all the blogs… I have a favorite folder that I need to go thru too!

I think we all spend too much time on the computer and not enough time on the sewing machine… but for quilters like me with little ones, it is my only quilty time some days!

You are too right about the amount of time one can spend on the PC reading blogs. My DH thinks I’m far too addicted…and he might be right. So thanks for the inspiration to trim done the 400 blogs on my reader. I doubt I’ll half it, but rest assured I won’t delete you )

I love reading your blog and have sent several friends here too. I just wanted to let you know that I made the “Heartstrings logo” quit with my church ladies and it came out very well. It went together quickly and they loved making it. I don’t have photos posted yet though. I have designed a string quilt to make a 4 leaf clover for a raffle for St. Patrick’s church. When we get it done I will let you know so you can pop over and see it.

I understand about the blogs, deleting most of mine is something I did recently, but the number has crept up again to around 150. I need to spend less time reading about crafting and more time actually doing it…

I agree. I have 355 blogs in my Bloglines (mostly crafy/quilty, with a few food blogs and some blogs related to my courses, too) and it’s overwhelming. I try to organize a reasonable number into a favorites folder, but that grows, too. Blogging is definitely a blessing and a curse.

I totally understand how being online can consume far more time than we think…and then all of the sudden we don’t have time or energy for what we had intended to do all along. I’ve cut back my time online as well…both read blogs and surfing~it goes along with my LIM lifesytle. Less time on the computer is More to time do other things that really are a priority.

Sometimes I want to stop reading blogs just because I get over inspired and then I get frustrated with all the projects I can’t fit in but in the end – I can’t stay away.

I know what you mean about time taken reading blogs. But there are so many interesting ones to read!
Sounds like your journey took some interesting twists & turns though!
